Roy Williams on former ECU coach Lebo: ‘He’s just worn out’

Posted Nov 30, 2017
Concerned about Jeff Lebo, who stepped down after eight seasons as coach at East Carolina earlier in the day, Roy Williams took time out Wednesday to check on his friend and former player before sending his team onto the court for its 86-71 win against Michigan. “First time I’ve ever done this, I called him before I went out on the court tonight,” Williams said.
